In this way, spatial fundamental Wilson and 't Hooft loops are simultaneously genuine line operators. Assuming a mass gap and Lorentz invariant vacuum of the $4$d QFT, the $\widetilde{\mathbb{Z}}_N\times \mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetry must be spontaneously broken to an order-$N$ subgroup $H$, and we can classify the $4$d gapped phases by specifying $H$. This establishes the $1$-to-$1$ correspondence between the two classification schemes for gapped phases of $4$d gauge theories: One is the conventional Wilson-'t Hooft classification, and the other is the modern classification using the spontaneous breaking of $4$d $1$-form symmetry enriched with symmetry-protected topological states.}, number={8}, journal={JOURNAL OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS}, author={Nguyen, Mendel and Tanizaki, Yuya and Unsal, Mithat}, year={2023}, month={Aug} } @article{nguyen_tanizaki_unsal_2023, title={Winding ? and destructive interference of instantons}, ISSN={["1029-8479"]}, DOI={10.1007/JHEP09(2023)033}, abstractNote={While the $\theta$ dependence of field theories is $2\pi$ periodic, the ground-state wavefunctions at $\theta$ and $\theta+2\pi$ often belong to different classes of symmetry-protected topological states. When this is the case, a continuous change of the $\theta$ parameter can introduce an interface that supports a nontrivial field theory localized on the wall. We consider the $2$d $\mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ sigma model as an example and construct a weak-coupling setup of this interface theory by considering the small $S^1$ compactification with nonzero winding $\theta$ parameter and a suitable symmetry-twisted boundary condition. This system has $N$ classical vacua connected by fractional instantons, but the anomaly constraint tells us that the fractional-instanton amplitudes should vanish completely to have $N$-fold degeneracy at the quantum level. We show how this happens in this purely bosonic system, uncovering that the integration over the zero modes annihilates the fractional instanton amplitudes, which is sharp contrast to what happens when the $\theta$ angle is constant. Moreover, we provide another explanation of this selection rule by showing that the $N$ perturbative vacua acquire different charges under the global symmetry with the activation of the winding $\theta$ angle.

This provides a new framework to analytically calculate nonperturbative properties such as confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, and the multi-branch structure of vacua. We give a semiclassical description of these phenomena based on the center vortex and show that it enjoys the same anomaly-matching condition as the original 4D gauge theory. We conjecture that the weak-coupling vacuum structure on small $T^2 \times \mathbb {R}^2$ is adiabatically connected to the strong-coupling regime on $\mathbb {R}^4$ without any phase transitions. In QCD with fundamental quarks as well, we can turn on the ’t Hooft flux either by activating the SU(Nf)V symmetry twist for Nf = N flavors or by introducing a magnetic flux of baryon number U(1)B for arbitrary Nf flavors. In both cases, the weak-coupling center-vortex theory gives a prediction consistent with the chiral Lagrangian of 4D QCD.}, number={4}, journal={PROGRESS OF THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Tanizaki, Yuya and Unsal, Mithat}, year={2022}, month={Apr} } @article{honda_itou_tanizaki_2022, title={DMRG study of the higher-charge Schwinger model and its ’t Hooft anomaly}, volume={11}, url={http://inspirehep.net/record/2163166}, DOI={10.1007/JHEP11(2022)141}, abstractNote={A bstract The charge- q Schwinger model is the (1 + 1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED) with a charge- q Dirac fermion.

Even though the fRG is an exact formulation, a naive application of the fRG equation would miss contributions from the $\theta$ term due to the differential nature of the formulation. We first review this quantum mechanical system on $S^1$ that is solvable with both the path integral and the canonical quantization. We discuss how to construct the quantum effective action including the $\theta$ dependence. Such an explicit calculation poses a subtle question of whether a Legendre transform is well defined or not for general systems with the sign problem. We then consider a deformed theory to relax the integral winding by introducing a wine-bottle potential with the finite depth $\propto g$, so that the original $S^1$ theory is recovered in the $g\to\infty$ limit. We numerically solve the energy spectrum in the deformed theory as a function of $g$ and $\theta$ in the canonical quantization. We test the efficacy of the simplest local potential approximation (LPA) in the fRG approach and find that the correct behavior of the ground state energy is well reproduced for small $\theta$. When the energy level crossing is approached, the LPA flow breaks down and fails in describing the ground state degeneracy expected from the 't Hooft anomaly. We finally turn back to the original theory and discuss an alternative formulation using the Villain lattice action.

In the ordinary chiral symmetry breaking, the Skyrmion current turns out to reproduce this ’t Hooft anomaly of massless QCD. In the exotic chiral symmetry breaking, however, the anomalous breaking of U(1) B does not take the correct form, and it is inconsistent with anomaly matching. This no-go theorem is based only on symmetries and anomalies, and thus has a wider range of applicability to the QCD phase diagram than the previous one obtained by QCD inequalities.

In these systems, for positive integer values of $${\zeta}$$ , the lowest $${\zeta}$$ states turn out to be exactly solvable for DSG—a feature known as Quasi-Exact-Solvability (QES)—and solvable to all orders in perturbation theory for TDW. For DSG such states do not show any instanton-like dependence on the coupling constant, although the action has real saddles. On the other hand, although it has no real saddles, the TDW admits all-orders perturbative states that are not normalizable, and hence, requires a non-perturbative energy shift. Both of these puzzles are solved by including complex saddles. We show that the convergence is dictated by the quantization of the hidden topological angle. Further, we argue that the QES systems can be linked to the exact cancellation of real and complex non-perturbative saddles to all orders in the semi-classical expansion. We also show that the entire resurgence structure remains encoded in the analytic properties of the $${\zeta}$$ -deformation, even though exactly at integer values of $${\zeta}$$ the mechanism of resurgence is obscured by the lack of ambiguity in both the Borel sum of the perturbation theory as well as the non-perturbative contributions. In this way, all of the characteristics of resurgence remains even when its role seems to vanish, much like the lingering grin of the Cheshire Cat. We also show that the perturbative series is Self-resurgent—a feature by which there is a one-to-one relation between the early terms of the perturbative expansion and the late terms of the same expansion—which is intimately connected with the Dunne–Ünsal relation.

In this paper the Lefschetz-thimble approach is examined in simple fermionic models which share some features with QCD. In zero-dimensional versions of the Gross-Neveu model and the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, we study the structure of Lefschetz thimbles and its variation across the chiral phase transition. We map out a phase diagram in the complex four-fermion coupling plane using a thimble decomposition of the path integral, and demonstrate an interesting link between anti-Stokes lines and Lee-Yang zeros. In the case of nonzero mass, it is shown that the approach to the chiral limit is singular because of intricate cancellation between competing thimbles, which implies the necessity to sum up multiple thimbles related by symmetry. We also consider a Chern-Simons theory with fermions in $0+1$-dimension and show how Lefschetz thimbles solve the complex phase problem caused by a topological term. These prototypical examples would aid future application of this framework to bona fide QCD.}, number={3}, journal={J. High Energ.

We found that the fermion self-energy turns out to be substantial even in the weak couping region, and the frequency dependence of the four-point vertex is essential to obtain the correct asymptotic-ultraviolet behavior of the flow for the self-energy.

It is applied to quantum mechanics of a double-well potential, and quantum tunneling is discussed. We identify all of the complex saddle points of the classical action, and their properties are discussed in detail. However a big theoretical difficulty turns out to appear in rewriting the original path integral into a sum of path integrals on Lefschetz thimbles.
